Howard Hughes Corporation, along with Discovery Land Company, will
be developing the most exclusive community in Summerlin. This community,
consisting of 555 acres of scenic, and secluded land bordering BLM land, will
be only minutes from Downtown Summerlin.

Although there is no name for the project as of this date,
groundbreaking of this new resort community is scheduled for mid-2015 with the
first lot and home sales beginning in the latter part of 2015.

Located immediately south of The Ridges, the new Las Vegas residential
resort community will be home to exclusive residential custom lot sites, a
private world-class Tom Fazio designed 18 hole golf course and clubhouse with
state-of-the-art fitness facility and spa. Homeowners within this private
Summerlin home community will enjoy incredible views of Red Rock Canyon and the
Spring Mountains.

Residents of the new resort community will also enjoy access to
all the amenities of a Summerlin home address, including top-notch private and
public schools, more than 150 parks and trails, and nine golf courses.
Summerlin Community Centers offer special events and classes exclusively for
those who live in the community. The new luxury community is located just
minutes from Downtown Summerlin, a 400-acre shopping, dining, and business
center in the heart of Summerlin that opens this fall. In addition to business
amenities, a 124 unit apartment rental complex is also planned in Downtown
Summerlin with one, two, and three bedroom units ranging from 1,000 to 2,040
square feet.

on the median. The Shay Hasselmann Group is always ready to help you with your
rental needs at www.lasvegashouserenters.com

What is the difference between Average and Median and why
does this matter to the Las Vegas Rental market?

Average is the sum of the individual items divided by the
number of items. Median is the middle number.

When we add the rents together ($25,500) and divide by 7, we
get an Average rent of $3,642.86. The Median rent is the middle number of
$2,000.

As you can see, the reason it is important to know the
Average and the Median rent price is that a very low number or a very high
number in the group can offset the final number. In our example, we had a very
high number which made an 82% difference of $1642.86. So it is always good to
compare both numbers to get a real sense of what is going on in the market.

The Shay Hasselmann Group of Keller Williams Realty Las Vegas, a Real Estate Team which is in the top 2% of Las Vegas Real Estate production, has launched a new, streamlined approach to help tenants find their ideal Las Vegas, Henderson, or Summerlin rental home. As part of this process, they have launched a new website dedicated to Las Vegas and Henderson house rentals at www.LasVegasHouseRenters.com.

With the upswing in the number of tenants looking to rent homes due to influx of new businesses, foreclosures, and new families to the valley, there has been a need to help these renters find homes, but few agents ready to help them.

Shay Hasselmann, team leader of the Shay Hasselmann Group, stated “Over 30% of homes today in Las Vegas are filled by tenants who are renting until they can purchase their ideal home. I want to help them find their perfect rental home as quickly and efficiently as possible.”

Typically home renters go online to look through a barrage of real estate sites, online classified ad sites, and try to contact a multitude of different people to get information on the homes they like. This is very time consuming and can take weeks to finish. Plus the renter has to give out their personal information to 10-15 people at times. With premium rental homes going quickly in this market, oftentimes the lone applicant may lose out on a desired home because they don’t know how to work through the system efficiently. Shay’s team, however, is a one stop shopping place where the tenants can begin their research at their new site, www.LasVegasHouseRenters.com . The team will then help them prepare the documentation, set up appointments, and can wrap up the deal in as early as 72 hours. There is safety for the renter as personal information is not passed on until a deal looks like it will close.

Using their streamlined approach, the Shay Hasselmann Group can close 30-40 rentals a month (compared to the average real estate agent of none to one). Property management companies have been happy to work with the team, as they bring fully qualified applicants to the table, and are working with professionals who understand the system.

Shay concluded with “When people want to rent a house, I want them to think of the Shay Hasselmann Team. We are always ready to help.”

At 5:00 p.m, I received a call from a new client that had signed up on my website only moments before. I was in the process of sending them our rental questionnaire and I hadn't had time to hit send when my phone was ringing.

“Hello! This is Kate.”

“Yes hi. I know this is strange, but my husband is outside a home now. Can you tell me if it's available?”

“Sure. What is the address?”

After finding the home was available and vacant, they asked if I could meet them there.

Normally our schedules don't allow us to meet people the same day, but I was available. After some more questions to determine their motivation, I decided to head over.

In the time it took me to drive to the home (about 15 minutes), 2 other agents and their clients had toured the home while my client waited patiently. We had paperwork completed online, documentation ready, and submitted it on the spot.

The next morning, my clients had the house.

It is first come, first served in this real estate rental market. According to CNN Money, Las Vegas was just named one of the “Top 10 Cities People are Moving To.” There is stiff competition and the good homes go quickly. If it is clean, has a great layout or upgrades, and is in a desirable area, be prepared to work efficiently. The sooner you move ON a home, the sooner you can move INTO it!

Many agents use rental placement as a fill in to their real estate business, often times turning down tenants as clients or giving minimal help in the search for a rental home. We at the Shay Hasselmann Group actively look for rental clients and use a streamlined process that helps you move into your ideal rental home. In this sense, we are revolutionary in the real estate rental business.

The first step to finding the perfect property is to fill out our short rental questionnaire. This will give us criteria to create a custom MLS search and will send updates daily. When you see homes that interest you, make a list of the top homes which meet your must-haves including dimensions, amenities, and neighborhood. After the research phase, and neighborhood visits, the Shay Hasselmann Group will help you gather and prepare necessary documents, set up appointments, and close the deal once you find your new home.

Along the way, we will clarify any and all details to make it a smooth transaction. Feel free to ask any questions you may have so they can be sorted out ahead of time.

Be sure your agent communicates with the listing agent. I can't stress how important putting a voice to the application is. Sometimes a little relationship building goes a long way.

The real estate market may be competitive and it may be stressful to move - we understand that. The more prepared you are, the easier the process will be. When you find “the one,” you know.

It seems I’m on a roll learning
about the names in the Summerlin area. Since I live in Peccole Ranch, I thought
it was time to learn the history if its naming.

Fittingly, the name comes from a
gentleman named William P. “Bill” Peccole, who was a real estate developer,
city commissioner, insurance agent, shopping mall developer, and a lifetime
baseball fan. His love for baseball ran the range of a player in 1930s amateur
clubs and Elks club, to being a coach, all the way to building baseball parks,
including the ones at University of Nevada, Reno and University of Nevada, Las
Vegas.

Born December 18, 1913 in Stockton,
California, his high school education was in Sacramento, but his college degree
(history and physical education) was at University of Nevada, Reno. He served
in World War II as a physical education instructor and left the Army with
captain rank.

He married Wanda Lamb on January
24, 1953, with whom he had three daughters – Leann, Laurie, and Lisa. Bill and
Wanda were activists in the community with involvement in politics, education,
the arts, and community development. They developed or provided land for
Peccole Ranch, Sahara West Library, Durango Fire Station, Charleston Plaza
Mall, and Queensridge to name a few.

Bill Peccole passed away December
15, 1999, just two days short of his 86th birthday, though his name
lives on in our Las Vegas real estate communities.
